HOORAY!!!

I did it! I actually did!! This morning around 10AM I finished my FIRST DRAFT! I was so excited I might have cried! Don't judge me, though I'm sure most of you felt the same way, all your heart an soul being put into a story that meant so much and took a lot of love and time!! Not to mention effort!!

I just felt the need to share how excited I was!!! CAN YOU FEEL IT!?!

Have a HAPPY HAPPY Friday!!! For my original post of the day you can check it out here!!

Oh, so happy for you! I know that feeling of relief that the story actually works! It's always so scary while writing until you get to the end! Celebrations!!(btw, I'm having a 100 followers contest too. I love your helpful links)

GO YOU!!! Do the 'I have made fire' happy dance! There is NOTHING like finishing the last word and seeing what you've done! Nothing. That elation is what makes a writer a writer, as opposed to an author. In my opinion at least.

Congrats. I'm always thrilled to see when new authors finish a WIP, especially if I've been able to watch their progress. I just learned of your blog, so I haven't followed, but I'm sure you brought your previous readers on quite a journey.

Jen, what an absolutely great milestone! I hope you're incredibly proud of yourself because just to finish a book is a huge achievement. Alot of aspiring writers never even make it that far. Congrats!!!!

congratulations. finishing a first draft is a HUGE accomplishment and i'm so glad you have all these blogging friends to cheer you on. however, if your family and friends don't understand the strange bout of melancholy that may come, may i offer this?

Woo hoo I know that feeling I actually finished a final draft and started querying agents. It is so exciting,but a little weird too. I wasn't sure what to do with myself for a couple of days. But then a couple of other projects called my name and now I'm back in the thick of things again.Congrats and good luck

Haha Jennifer, yes we should.Pandas are my absolute favorite animals, but I just love all bears! On Good Morning America Thursday, they had the CUTEST baby bear on the show. (I don't know why, I wasn't listening because the cute baby bear was distracting me.) Oh, and for anyone who watched Good Morning America Thursday, those group of people in the studio behind the reporter people are seniors from my school. They were waving a lot, haha. They are on there senior trip. Austin, Indiana!!!Hope you're enjoying your weekend!xx,~Abby~
